Pros:

I really like the 3D. It really does look nice. I struggled between giving this three or four stars. I went with three.

Cons:

I'm going to be a little harsh here.

I don't care what the specs say.. this isn't 1080p. Compared to (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889262092) <- this, it's certainly not at least. It has small lines all through the picture.. I'm guessing this has to do the refresh rate, but so does my vizo and it doesn't have these annoying lines.

Don't get me wrong... the picture is way better than my 10 year old 19 inch monitor; but it's just these lines I can't get over, it aggravates me to no end.

Also, don't get me started on the premium sound. You have to open it, and reassign where the sound is coming from each time you switch devices. Watching a video with sound coming from the monitor, gets a little loud in the house, so, let's plug up our headphones and go right? No. This mutes everything, it won't work on headphones OR through the monitor until you go into settings and reset which one you want to use. I thought it was messed up for like three hours,

Other Thoughts:

For what I paid for, I'm okay with it. I wish I would have saved a couple hundred bucks more and got an HD 3D TV with a 120hz refresh rate; but life goes on and I'll learn from the experience, just wish it didn't cost me 260 dollars to do so.

I hope this review helps you guys. Like I said, it's not a BAD monitor. If you want 3D and decent quality, (I said it was definitely not 1080p, but that doesn't mean its bad quality, its definitely better than standard definition, and the lines through the screen are less prominent [sometimes invisible] when viewing videos, it's just not up to my standards for what I would call HD viewing) and a fantastic price, this is the monitor for you. I would have given it four stars if it was not for these lines. Ugh, these lines...
